Favourite Summer Song ? (1 Viewer)

[bringbackrattles]

As its hot and sunny now even though the heatwave will be short no doubt, it got me thinking : Whats a favourite summer record by music lovers on here ? By that I mean a track with a title relating to the hot season, or one that reminds you of summer for some reason ?
A few for me are: Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream. Summer In The City by the Easybeats. Itchycoo Park- Small Faces always makes me think of hot days as a kid. I've got more but any other suggestions ?

Summer In The City was by the Lovin Spoonful. The Easybeats had one but forgot the title !

Lazy Sunday by the Small Faces (oh wouldn it be nice to get on wiv me neighbours). Summer in the City is great too.

Sunny Afternoon, the Kinks. Here comes the Sun, the Beatles.

Here Comes the Summer, the Undertones.

Do it Again, the Beach Boys.

Is there a summer in England? I like "Summer Holiday" by Cliff Richard.

I loved it until Operation Yewtree, then I really hated it, but now he has been cleared I like it again.

I only discovered this song comparatively recently while listening to a chart countdown ffrom 1965. It's possible she performed it at the Blue Nile club when she visited Coventry that same year.

In the Old Crown on Windmill Road in Cov last night had a free jukebox so there were some great tracks blasting out. Staying Out For The Summer by a band called Dodgy was on and that's a great song. They broke up not long after pity they sound good.

Thanks for this really appreciated. It is a great track.

And Everything But the Girl's Eden album reminds me of the summer before I met her - living above a restaurant with a bunch of musos; dancing, gigging and working the days at Ladbrokes marking up the odds and results for every race. Halcyon days...
